Newly appointed Consul General in NY: J Street is ‘un-Jewish’

J Street expressed “deep concern” of the appointment of Dani Dayan, a former leader settler leader, as Israel’s Consul General in New York on Monday.

“Dayan is but the latest appointment to a senior diplomatic post of an adamant opponent of the two-state solution, whose posting will serve to inflame opponents of Israel’s policies,” J Street president Jeremy Ben-Ami said in a statement.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the appointment of Dayan as Consul General of New York after he was initially tapped to become Israel’s Ambassador to Brazil, but rejected by the Brazilian government.

“Though the Prime Minister of Israel continues to express his concern that Israel does not become a binational state, he is sending as his envoy to New York a man who served for years as chairman of the settlers’ council and who revels in predicting the demise of the two-state solution,” J Steet said in its statement.

But it appears that there’s no love lost between Dayan and J Street.
